I wrote there weren't spread out navigations and you couldn't change language or something like that?

im actually so upset, i got an A in the prelim 95% and now i feel like im just barely going to pass.

For navigation i put down inconsistency with buttons and something about the arrow not pointing to a reliable source?? anyways im dropping this subject

I got input validation and syntax error as well.

Is RND function called the round function? If so then that's what I put.

I wrote it allows currency to be displayed with the values. Was a bit confused.

What did people get in section A about the user one. They said in the question it was a novice user or something

expert user

Also the pre-defined function im pretty sure was RANDOM but RND was my second option although there wasn't really anything that was rounded

What was the two issues with flat file databases? The only one I could think of was data duplication, for the other one I said there was too many fields meaning the file size is bigger but it was just on the off-chance it's right :colondollar:

And when it asked for another type instead of flat file, was it a linked database? I know it's an easy one but my mind went blank

What did you guys put for the 2 ways to commit the computer misuse act or something like that ?? It was near the end of the paper

Oh WHY do they write {DO NOT WRITE HERE] page in the middle of the paper ? I nearly missed out like all of the questions

Accessing in order to commit a crime
Gaining unauthorised access to a system

For security suite i cant believe i spent like 5 minutes on that it didnt strike me as something that would be in the exam

In the programming language we used RND was used with the Randomize () function when generating a random number

Same. That's what I wrote. Firewall should definitely be one and I'm sure biometrics is one as well :smile:

This was weird because they literally showed you a flowchart! I wasn't sure if they wanted another kind of design notation or not, it was so vague.
